It depends on what you define as a g-d. If being "one" with G-d is a being like G-d then yes - LDS believe that you can become like G-d. Is there anything you understand about G-d that you do not believe that man should include in the "oneness" with G-d that Chrstinas are encouraged to seek in the Holy Scriptures?
